so i took out an injector to see if it was misting any fuel.

i cranked it. nothing was misting. but when i let go of crank. fuel gushed out of the hole from the head. what does that mean?

and when i put the injector back in, i tried to start it.it cranked and it sounded like it was about to start but it stalled and it didn't sound so good plus there was smoke coming out of spark plug area.

i made a ka24de swap and its doing the same thing. i check if it was getting spark and it was its timed and everything is in running position, but i wont start. what i was told that it could be a ground wire from the intake manifold.thats the only thing that anyone could suggest. if u find out any info plz let me know. im gonna have my car looked at on monday ill let u know what was the problem if they find it.
